Walkthrough

Head over to the nearby car repair shop on Windmill St. Stay in your vehicle, because some of the gang members will try to escape in a car. Chase the car and ignore the gang members in the garage for now. Shoot the driver quickly, put it in flames as fast as you can because if the car gets out of range of the car shop, the mission will fail. Once the gang members in the car are dead, head back to the garage and finish the gang members inside. The cops will probably be on you by now, so be careful when you head back to the garage; the cops and gang members in the garage willboth be shooting at you. But, if you're lucky, the gang members shooting at you will attract the cops' attention and the police will start firing at them. Whatever happens, when everyone is dead, the mission is passed.

To finish the mission quickly, it is essential to avoid the car chase. There are several ways to go about this; if you have a hand grenade, you can kill most, if not all, of the targets almost instantly by simply throwing it near the car. If you have a Micro-SMG, you can perform a drive-by on the driver of the Primo through the windshield. Another option is simply blocking the escaping car's way with your vehicle (this is much less dangerous if you are in possession of a vehicle like the Fire Truck orTrashmaster, which will protect you from gunfire). Another way is to take cover behind a railway pillar by the corner of the street, which gives you a good vantage point to manually aim for the driver with any weapon.
